A History of Ireland in 100 Objects (see here) uses artefacts to create a timeline of Ireland's past; from the earliest evidence of human activity to the modern day - one object at a time. Each object helps us to connect with the person that made it, those who used it and to the times in which they lived. Here at the National Museum of Ireland - Country Life you will find the empty cooking pot, emigrant's teapot, Boyne coracle and emigrant's suitcase. The National Museum of Ireland, The Irish Times and the Royal Irish Academy collaborated on A History of Ireland in 100 Objects.
